Inside the world of Beautiful Evil Things

What if there was another take on the Trojan war, an untold, breathtaking adventure? Enter Medusa. Monstrous gorgon? Snakes for hair? A turn-to-stone glare? Perhaps. But she was there.

Beautiful Evil Things is a high-energy one-woman show from Ad Infinitum, combining physical storytelling with cut-throat wit. Coming hot on the heels of their multi award-winning hit Odyssey, this acerbically comic, thrilling and poignant show "brings tears to your eyes and raises your heart rate” (The Guardian).

The performance of Beautiful Evil Things at Hackney Empire will be BSL integrated and captioned, and is accessible to deaf, Deaf, hard of hearing and hearing audiences. Unlike traditional performance interpreting where a BSL interpreter stands to the side of the action, interpreter Kyra Pollitt joins Deborah Pugh (Co-Creator, Deviser, Performer & Co-Composer) onstage, weaving BSL interpretation into the action to create a seamless, immersive experience. State-of-the-art closed captioning screens ensure that audiences catch every line, character name, and sound effect.

Watch the video below to hear from Deborah Pugh about the inspiration behind the show.
